Yes! Abbie Forged. Cut to 33" with a pile of lead tape on bottom and cavity, Winn Jumbo Lite grip.

SC Tei3 NP2. Gamer was behaving badly before PAT's and had just picked this one up a week earlier. Made it through.

Odyssey Tank Cruiser V-line. Ability to change up weights has been great, love the face insert and is super forgiving for start of the year rounds with a less than stellar stroke. One playing partner always complains that I should just leave it in the bag as it works well for me.

What's In The Ping Moonlite:
Ping Rapture '14 13*
Ping Rapture DI 18*
Titleist 690.CB 4/6/8/PW
Vokey TVD 54*
Odyssey Tank V-Line

Odyssey Protype 2: surprised to see others mention it too. Just picked up a second like new one. Feels as good (or better) than any blade out there.

Odyssey Triple Track 10: I think TT is going to end up as influential and successful as 2-ball. Ten is the best model.

Odyssey White Hot Pro Havok: don’t laugh, but it’s really good. I’ve never seen anyone else play one. It was ahead of its time. Sets up great and it’s MOI and stability is insane. Find a dirt cheap one on eBay and enjoy

Odyssey Black Tour 1 wide - tempted to get a Toulon Chicago because of it but hard to justify the price vs grabbing a classic from the bay and refinishing and still beating retail on the Toulon. Went through 2 of these and a couple of #5s. This was probably at the height of BST madness for me.

Yes Tracy II - something about that flow neck and alignment line on the top line just did it for me with that great feel off of Harold’s genius patented face. Went through 2.

TM Spider Mallet - regret getting rid of the 3rd one. Yes, this too was a multiple buy, sell and trade for me. Went to the center shaft for awhile and then back to the heel shaft with the 2.0. Damn counter balance worked well for me but one little paint chip on that white and paint flaking out of the border of the insert did it for my OCD.

My search has been $$ and painful ever since.

Odyssey White Hot Rossie, first putter owned and played for almost 15 years

Odyssey White Hot Pro Tour V-Line (gifted from a Callaway tour player for my bday, still have), amazing face balanced, rolled this great love this putter

Gamer (2018 Father's Day gift from kids) Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2.5 (got custom fitted for it), can't take it out of the bag, it gives me the true roll and feel is simply amazing, plus is of sentimental value...

PING IWI D66 - had some of best scores with this putter. Holed a lot of long putts with it.

Odyssey 2 Ball Centre Shaft - amazing feel. Just loved the why it lined up

Scott Cameron - Newport 2 Terlliyum. Just had to have a Terlliyum after tiger won the Masters in ‘97. Have to have an alignment aide on the putter hence why the Newport 2

I only have 2 right now but a list of putters that can change up that list a lot.

Edel E-3: Not the most icon on looks but it was fully fit for me. Lost my groove with it, got re-fit so should be good this year.Toulon San Diego: Bought this used during my funk with the Edel. I like the look and feel, also putted well with it. Playing with a few grips, but want specs checked for me.Now what I have that hasn't been on a course since I bought it or plan on buying in the off season.

Miura KM-006. This thing is a beauty and feels so soft for a light face mill. Again gonna get it spec'd to me and may change the grip to something a touch heavier since the head is 370g and grip is 55g.SIK Pro Tour Proto. These are rare in lefties, I like the roll but want a new shaft and proper specs for me. LAB Golf DF2.1 - I just really want this putter, I know not an eye turner but I'm generally interested in putter tech.

1) Byron Morgan Epic Day Long Pipe copper plated (my current gamer)

2) Ping Zing 85020 (black band)

3) Wilson Tour Special II

 

All three spent time in my bag and performed extremely well. I have had a lot of putters between these, my guess is more than 50 putters of varying brands and models. Some were done for a feeble collection. The Wilson Tour Special II was my second putter I got back in 1988 and gamed until fall 1991 when I lost it on the course (totally stupid of me). I then went with a Ping Zing and later the original black band version. The shaft made that putter. That putter was in the bag for the next 3-4 years or so but saw a return to the bag a couple more times over the years. My current gamer (Epic Day) has been in my bag since September 2014 and is still putting extremely well.

Driver:  TaylorMade 300 Mini 11.5° (10.2°), Fujikura Ventus Blue 5S Velocore

3W:  TaylorMade M4 15°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7S

Irons:  Mizuno Pro 223 4-PW, Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 stiff

GW / SW: Mizuno T-22, 52° (bent to 50°)/ 56° (bent to 54°), True Temper S400

LW:  Scratch Golf 1018 forged 58° DS, Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 stiff

Putter:  Byron Morgan Epic Day custom, Salty MidPlus cork grip

Grips:  BestGrips Augusta Microperf leather slip on

2014 Scotty fastback. First putter to survive past two years (still have it and lasted five years in the bag bar two weeks) and in the bag for winters.

t22 Newport. Averaged below 30 putts for the three months this was in the bag before the greens became too soft and slow for this. Will be back in The bag once we are allowed to golf again!

Original white hot two ball. Bought this when it first came out when I was 16 and seemed to make everything I looked at. Replaced it after a few years because the paint had worn off the centre of the face but the replacement never felt right despite being the same specs.

Titleist TSR2 10 set at 11 Hzrdus Red CB
Titleist TSI2 16.5 Tensei Blue

Ping G 17.5 set at 18.5 Ping tour shaft.
Titleist TS3 hybrid 21 Tensei Blue
Taylormade 2023 p790 5-PW kbs tour lite
Vokey SM9 50°/12° SM8 56°/14° and SM9 60°/10°

I don’t post much but this got me thinking...I’ve used at least 40 putters over the years. All over-the-counter stuff...Pings, 2-Balls, #7’s, Rossies, Spiders, etc. but these stand out. None are particularly special but they made a lot of putts.

Titleist Bullseye Wide Flange. My first “serious” putter, I bagged it for 4 years or so until I loaned it to my Nephew who lost his cool one day and mangled the face. He had the face re-surfaced but it was never the same...I ragged about that thing every time I played with him so he gifted me the next one on the list to shut me up.Ping Pal 2 BeCu. Used this one for the next few years until 1986...then Jack won the Masters...and if it worked for Jack, well...MacGregor Response. This thing got a lot of laughs...but it made a lot of clutch putts. I carried that for maybe 5 years until the “Nicklaus used this to win the Masters” line was no longer enough validation to endure the verbal beatings from my buddies! But beyond fond memories:

Probably the purest putters I ever used (and still use) is a gun blue 1996-97 Scotty Newport with a well-worn baby-t grip. Contact with the sweet spot is an experience I never tire of. I’ll never give that one up.

Ping Redwood Anser. I taped it off and spray painted the top line and flange a few years ago with gray primer (again to the horror of my stuffed-shirt buddies) because the glare in the sun was horrendous. It looks like hell but it’s got game.

I recently picked up a Bettinardi Queen Bee #5 that has my undivided attention. Admittedly, the look might be questionable to some, but it sure feels good. One of the best I’ve rolled.
